TaqMan Gene Expression Assays & Arrays Selection Guide
The most comprehensive gene expression qPCR assay selection in the industry—spend more time getting results, not designing assays
Applied Biosystems™ TaqMan® Assays are probe and primer sets based on 5’ nuclease chemistry using Applied Biosystems™ TaqMan® MGB (minor groove binder) probes, the most quantitative gene expression technology available.
- Offers the highest specificity, greatest sensitivity, and largest dynamic range of any gene expression technology
- Ready-to-go format—TaqMan Assays require no optimization and minimize the labor, expense, and bioinformatics expertise required to design qPCR assays
Which TaqMan Assay or array product is right for you?
Choose from over 1.2 million predesigned primer and probe sets (assays) designed by Thermo Fisher Scientific scientists.
